Cave Story 3D Review

You know the old phrase, “Don’t mess with success”? Well, in the video game industry, it actually has some meaning behind it. Look at the Contra series, for instance. When it stayed true to its 2D roots, fans loved it and ate it up. The second Konami tried to screw with it and turn it into a 3D extravaganza, it collapsed under the weight of expectations and became a mess. Now, I know, sometimes you have to experiment to see what works (how else would Super Mario 64 have been made?), but you’ll need to keep some aspect of the gameplay tried and true in order to keep the game from failing.
Maybe that’s why I like Cave Story 3D so much. A modernized remake of the independent PC development that came out in 2004...
